Early in 2015 local resident, Val Hills left in her will about £98,000 to Lincolnshire Police Force. Chief Constable Neil Rhodes, a friend of the family, and a small group deliberated long and hard on how the legacy could be used and provide a lasting memory of a couple who obviously held Lincolnshire Police in high regard. The legacy now provided a permanent reminder of the high regard Val and her husband Burt held for the police, and the creation of the force memorial garden. The memorial names 75 policemen of all ranks who died whilst serving in the police force between 1975 and 2017.
